Mary-Grace Fahrun grew up in the Italian neighbourhoods of Montreal and Connecticut. Fahrun is an authority on Italian folk magic and folk healing traditions and has been practising it for over 30 years. A registered nurse and magic healer, her practice combines skills as a folk healer, psychic, natural health consultant and Reiki Master.
"Italian Folk Magic is a charming, honest, and practical
insight into an area of witchcraft that's often been overwrought
with unnecessary outside influences. If you gather at the hearth of
the Italian household, you will find a beautiful practice that
doesn't require the dressing of ceremonial magic or recreated
rites. Through the author's family tales, I was transported back to
my own childhood memories of my Italian family in South
Philadelphia. While magic traditions will definitely differ from
family to family, region to region, there are underlying threads
that are strikingly familiar that will speak to every reader.
Through stories of recipes, superstitions, saints, and more,
Mary-Grace serves up a delightful dish of a book that speaks to the
heart of Italian witchcraft practices. Truly inspiring and a
wonderful read!"--Laura Tempest Zakroff, author of Sigil Witchery:
A Witch's Guide to Crafting Magick Symbols and The Witch's
Cauldron: The Craft, Lore and Magick of Ritual Vessels
"Mary-Grace Fahrun's Italian Folk Magic is an intimate
journey into the heart of Italian folk magical practices as they
are lived every day. Having grown up in an extended Italian family
in North America and Italy, the author presents us with the
stories, characters, saints, charms, and prayers that form the core
of folk religion, setting them in context in an authentic,
down-to-earth, and humorous voice. A delight to read!"--Sabina
Magliocco, Professor of Anthropology, University of British
Columbia
"I seriously love Mary-Grace Fahrun's Italian Folk Magic. It
has given me so much witchy wisdom I couldn't put the book down.
Magic is everywhere." --Hilarie Burton, actress
"This is an extraordinary book, a divine gift from Italian
ancestors full of ordinary ways to live an enchanted life. In
revealing 'folk magic' practiced and passed down through
generations, Mary-Grace tells favorite family stories, opening the
door for readers to enter the magical world in which she lives,
wherein we discover our own. My Polish soul fell in love with these
Italian sisters and the wisdom they reveal and will do so evermore
as I make their magic. In any collection of book on magic,
Italian Folk Magic belongs on the top shelf."--Karol
Jackowski, author of Sister Karol's Book of Spells and
Blessings
"Whether you are of Italian ancestry or not, Italian Folk
Magic is a great practical book full of history, culture,
recipes, remedies, insight, magic, and more which is sure to effect
and shape your perspective on witchcraft and your everyday life.
Rue enthusiastically invigorates a waning layer of folk tradition
with a burst of momentum for a burgeoning generation of folk magic
practitioners."--Chris Orapello, artist, author, and co-host of
Down at the Crossroads
